'55 Chevy, yellow (#1)

This yellow '55 Chevy is bag number 1 in the 1991 McDonald's Hot Wheels Happy Meal, one of two colourways of the '55 Chevy casting in the promotion.

That promotion offered eight cars across four castings, each in two colour variations, sealed in a baggie inside the Happy Meal box. It is a separate line from Mattel's own retail California Custom series of the same name.

This example pairs a yellow body with orange, blue and purple side markings on a gray plastic base with blackwall wheels.

Gray plastic base with blackwall wheels

Body material, scale, base codes and the verbatim molded base text are deliberately unrecorded: no source states them and no physical examination has been documented.
